Chapter 550
Several months after Levien was robbed by the Humans, the Demon King’s army that had been besieging Levien was slowly being pushed to its limits.
At the time the war broke out, the fact that Levien had not been taken away by the Demon King’s Army even once since it was usurped through a surprise raid was not simply because the Demon King’s Army was strong, but because the city of Levien was specialized in defense.
It wasn’t that Levien had been playing her role for a long time, being called Ethiel’s shield. No matter how demonic they were, enormous resources and troops had to be invested in order to recapture Levien in a standard way.
However, its resources and troops were running out.
It is a fight that will not be easy even if all preparations are perfect, but the situation is getting worse and worse, and a disturbing atmosphere hangs over the cities that supported the military. The city, which had served as a supply line until just two days later, showed strangely sluggish movements, and the very next day, it sided with the church and plundered supplies that had to be crossed over to the front line.
It’s not that there aren’t supplies that barely arrive intact, but there are demons in Levien who choose and attack the location where those supplies are located.
Now called crows, the flying dragon unit was created solely for the purpose of surprise attacking the rear and destroying supply.
– Pip!
“Damn the crows! Emergency! Emergency!!”
No one whistles because they are bored and have nothing to do in the Demon King’s army. It was because they had suffered morbidly from the kingdom’s flying dragon troops until they reached the point where they had nothing to say even if they were slapped on the cheek by a colleague while working together.
No matter how prepared and defended the enemies flew in every day, it was useless. In the early days, wizards were mobilized to somehow spread the surveillance net and be vigilant, but now they fly around wearing magic tools that interfere with observation magic, so there is no way to find out in advance other than checking with the naked eye.
That alone is a headache, but they are getting more and more vicious.
It had not yet dawned, and among the dozen or so flying dragons spread out over the gloomy sky, one of them was the flame that rose like a small sun and began to glow.
“Sir, fuck! Wizards! Call the wizards! Levien’s mad bitch!”
Ragnis Lien da Levien.
The main character of a song that said that when Levien was taken away in the past, he managed to escape with his life and finally regained his land. I didn’t want to know, but because of the people who sang the song instead of the military song, the protagonist of the cursed song, who had to memorize the lyrics, was approaching.
At first, nobody cared.
Even when Levien was taken away, what the demon king’s army cared about was the flute knight and his flying dragon unit, and they didn’t even care about the scarecrow’s face madam. That’s why I didn’t care that she appeared more and more on the battlefield, and the fact that she gradually began to be observed from the front rather than the rear was regarded as an opportunity to eliminate the pivot.
It took less than an hour to realize that all those hypotheses and judgments were nothing more than complacent misunderstandings on the battlefield where he was determined to attack the immature girl who appeared on the battlefield.
The Marquis of Levien turned the battlefield into an inferno burning as red as her own hair, and was soon called the ‘Fire Witch’.
Although it is now more commonly referred to as a crazy bitch.
“D, dispel…”
“It’s a defense magic, you idiot!”
The veteran wizard, who had recently corrected the misjudgment of a wizard who had recently joined as a supplementary force, prepared all the defense magic he knew in a cold sweat.
There are few reasons to break out in a cold sweat simply by preparing magic. The enemy’s magic is so powerful that you don’t have the confidence to stop it, or you’re afraid that the enemy will interfere with your casting and expose you to attack. Roughly that’s what causes it.
“come!”
Sadly, Levien’s mad bitch was both.
Even though the fireball had not yet been thrown, the difference between those who properly understood the meaning of the signal and those who did not began to be sharply divided.
“Heuk!”
“Aagh!”
There are more wizards who vomit blood or regurgitate their magical powers, causing the magic they are preparing to explode than there are wizards who complete their spells and spread their shields. It is a terrifying sight for those who were proud of having a magic system far superior to that of the Humans.
In battles between wizards, dispel is basic and essential.
There is no wizard who does not know that he must build his magic more sophisticated and solid than his opponents so that he cannot interfere with the completion of the spell, and then prevent the enemy from casting his magic.
In the early days, because of the gap between mana and magic, there was a time when it was advantageous to complete the magic quickly and recklessly throw it because they couldn’t intervene in each other’s spells, but now it’s just a thing of the past. No matter how new he was, among the wizards active on the front lines, there was no one who could not intervene in the human magic.
It was.
Until the mad bitch of Levien appeared.
“If you think the spell is about to break, give up and don’t try to fix it! Turn on your magic tools! Your opponent is a fire witch!”
Normal level wizards on the battlefield cannot interfere with her magic.
A wizard who confronts her head-on will never be able to complete his magic.
Even though he may not be second-class as a warrior yet, the Marquis Levien, who is close to first-class as a wizard, fools the wizards of the Demon King’s Army by boasting incredibly precise calculations and speed that is unbelievable for a person who uses mana.
even at this moment.
“Here comes the magic!”
Fireballs the size of dragons were fired like catapults without even trying to catch up with the wizards who were in confusion. The old wizard, who was able to somehow finish the analysis of the spell, applied all kinds of curses to the fire witch who had completed such a magic in such a short time, and deployed the defense magic that he had barely completed.
Fortunately, he wasn’t the only one who completed the order. After weighing the double-triple magic and the fireball flying beyond it, the veteran wizard let out a sigh of relief.
It’s just the beginning, but I can’t stop that magic…
“…?”
Because of the blazing fireball, the drakes beyond it shimmered along with the haze. Due to the original dark sky, it was difficult to identify properly, but thanks to the sun that luckily started to rise, the old wizard was able to clearly see the incident beyond the shimmering.
The incomprehensible sight of the fire witch throwing a fireball, kicking off the dragon’s back and soaring into the sky.
“Did it fly…?”
Seeing a sight that transcends common sense, the veteran wizard couldn’t take his eyes off the witch of fire soaring higher than the dragon, even as he watched the fireball shatter the shield. Did it really fly? Can that bitch even fly that high in the sky? If that’s the case, why the hell did you ride the flying dragon? No, why are you flying up now?
Forgetting the surrounding confusion and noise, the witch of fire, who had turned her back to the real sun and rose with mysterious flames as if about to ascend, suddenly glowed
red.
“ah.”
The sunlight was not reflected in the fire witch’s armor. Her armor and helmet, shield and spear glowed red as if they contained fire itself.
What followed along with the intense light that could be called a flash were flames that seemed to be ripening, shocks that shook the ground, and piles of dirt flying mixed with the still unmelted snow.
– Kwaaang!
The sound was then. Maybe the sound was heard first, but at least that’s how the old wizard felt.
But that didn’t matter too much. The bigger problem was the life-threatening flames rising up as if to eat oneself while falling down with shock waves that made one unable to control one’s body.
“It’s a witch! A witch has appeared!”
The sound of someone shouting in a far away place feels absolutely stupid.
A one-time magic tool that had not yet been used because he had completed defense magic exploded to protect his body belatedly, but when the old wizard, who was unable to stand on his own feet for a while, barely managed to keep his body steady and raised his head, a nightmare-like scene that he did not want to see even in his dreams was unfolding in front of his eyes. it was behind
“Ah …”
When he didn’t know that that crazy bitch was crazy, the Devil army organized an assault for a fearful warrior to hit the fire witch at the forefront.
There was information that he was a wizard, but there was no record of him actually being active on the frontlines, so no one felt like a threat. I heard that the battle mage Radnellvandes, who is the teacher and the biggest threat, is staying in the castle to defend Levien, so he thought it was worth doing.
They stand by among ordinary soldiers, and then suddenly strike out and eliminate them the moment the commander goes to the front to bolster morale.
It was a time-honored tactic that the Demon King’s Army had often used to hit commanders patrolling the frontlines from a long time ago, and it was an effective tactic that made them give up patrolling the frontlines rather than find a countermeasure.
The senior wizard at the time did not understand how such a tactic failed. All he saw was the horrific sight of flames suddenly rising high into the sky and spreading out in all directions, engulfing the elite who had rushed out to ambush them whole.
Looking back, it seems that Levien’s mad bitch glowed as if it were burning red, just as we see now.
-Pip! blood profit!
The dragon knight jumped over the head of the wizard who was staring helplessly at the sight of the dragon knights leaping over the fire witch holding up a spear with the family crest on it, standing upright with his back to the sun.
Even though his magic tool stopped the flames, he couldn’t stop the knight’s sword.
A word from the author (writer’s review) No matter how much I think about it, the timing of the title seems to be wrong, so I edited the title.
